Project Information

Chess Set made for a friend from quarter sawn white oak leftovers from a chair build and walnut leftovers from a record cabinet build.

First time cutting lock joints. Used on the carcass the drawer slides into and the board is doweled into. Good thing they're mostly invisible, because you can tell they were firsts. The recipient liked the set so much he even let me win the inaugural match played on it. Quite generous of him.

Gorgeous piece. You had a great choice to use all of the very straight QSO grain. It really make this look great.
